Studio shots

Hi I was wondering how I could take a grainy photo such as this one http://www.darkclownz.com/pic_kb_401.jpg and make it look like it was shot in a studio like for the soul purpose of publication on the web or in a mag instead of it looking like a stock photo. Also I was wondering if there was a way I could take a photo such as the one above and increase its size without making it either pixelated or extremely blury. thanks for your time.

no

hmm well maybe just make it a little clearer... so that it doesn't look so fuzzy... I just want to make the picture look cleaner is all. And was that a no to both questions? So there is no way to enlarge the picture without it become extremely pixelated?

you'll never be able to expand it perfectly, but a method that might help is this:

expand the image far more than you need it - perhaps even 10 times bigger.

apply a lot of guassian blur to remove the pixellation, and then shrink it down to the size required.

Its not perfect but it might help.

thanks for the tip! woo, and hey is there a good way to make a picture clearer... like make that pic i posted look clearer.
